017 The Language of Our Forebears

Release Date:  July 12, 2018 Leave a Comment

Episode Synopsis

Multilingual learners are sitting in most classrooms today. How do we support English language learners (ELL) students’ learning in math, science and social studies while they navigate the language and cultural barriers of their emergent bilingualism? We look at some research on how taking responsibility for our own cultural and linguistic perspective as teachers can help.

 

Later, we discuss another listener recommendation. Sensemaking is an important cognitive process that is subtly distinct from thinking, planning and answering. Understanding the unique process of sensemaking leads to ways we can support it with our students.

 

Kelly Kluthe joins us for the Peer Review this month to share a beer from her favorite brewery while she shares her progress in implementing standards-based grading in two very different school districts.
